Hopefully low. The only reason I say that is the constant redraw while playing /thorny (draw sound and the way it makes you stutter around) drives me absolutely bonkers. There are many assault sets I'd prefer over it.
Same reason I can only play weapon sets on the melee ATs and not on blasters/corrs/defs, too much juggling between prim and secondary compared to a melee just toggling up and going.
If they ever make is so I don't need to put away my weapon to cast a power like rad infection (which seems possible based on the nem staff bug) then I'm all for it.
Yeah redraw is a bit annoying. Which is why I'd actually take this a whole step further and come up with a pistol (weapon) control set as well. The malta gunslingers have those ice rounds in their gun for example to hold.
At least you could then pair the two together with minimal redraw and have a new, plus natural set to use with doms.
Please buff Ice Control.
I don't understand redraw complaints. They utterly confuse me..does redraw make you less effective or something? I'm being serious I've never understood why anyone would complain about a power having to animate.
And I dont think Doms are going to get pistols...but we'll see.

River, I've read on multiple occasions that redraw doesn't actually slow you down at all. I don't quite remember, but I think the actual power animation is supposedly sped up if it begins with a weapon draw. However, I think it's all a ruse! I've noticed redraw slowing me down on countless occasions with my /Mace tanker. I've given it the benefit of the doubt for a long time, rationalizing that it might just be my skewed perception, but now I really do think it's a bug. I've mainly noticed when I charge a group and taunt some enemies on the periphery. If my weapon isn't already drawn, I notice my character is rooted for longer than just the taunt animation alone. I'm also pretty sure I've noticed the intended "speed up" effect sometimes during redraw, but inconsistently. I really don't think it's my perception, but will try and test this out at some point.
I realize in retrospect this is a random tangent, but perhaps that might help you understand people's aversion to redraw. Even if it is skewed perception (which I doubt!), it's still annoying!
In regards to the OP: I'm almost certain doms won't get dual pistols, but I bet the chances of getting /dark are pretty good! Think about it- most of the assault sets borrow powers from all over the place... and there are plenty of dark powers that could be cobbled together! Shadow Punch, Smite, Dark Blast, Gloom, Nightfall, TT, Moonbeam, SOUL DRAIN (omg), Siphon Life, Midnight Grasp... Wow, they could really make a killer set.

It's the constant "thwick" sound of /thorny on like every 2nd to 3rd move. For Dual Pistols it would be the "whop whop" sound that they make for MM's.
And the way the redraw makes you drop like a brick during in combat movement (ie hurdle+cj).
It is especially prevailent on doms who often go prim>sec>prim>sec>etc as they attack. And it only gets worse as you level unfortunately as your primary powers cycle faster and faster.
Very disruptive, very annoying. I don't really care about whether it actually impacts performance. It impacts my brain

It does slow down your attack chain now. For me it's less about that and more that the constant redraw just annoys the [censored] out of me. I wish it was changed so that redraw only animates if the power can't activate for one reason or another (like being out of range).
Branching Paragon Police Department Epic Archetype, please!
Some of the new dual pistols stuff will roll our way?
Pistol Assault for doms.
Seriously. Dominators need new power sets (heck even a retreaded one will do) today.
Please buff Ice Control.
